Back & Ahead

TL;DR: Cool stuff ahead, bro! 

Before I begin, to guarantee clear communication with this 'web-based social networking age', hashtags and pop-culture references will be used. #YouAreWelcome

Greetings,

[Friends, Family, Professors, Staff, Mentors, Juniors & most importantly the celebrated Class of 2020] #MakeSomeNoise Hope you all are doing great and keeping safe!

Graduates, who don’t know me, my name is Kripesh. We went to graduate school during same time. #FunTimes Today is an exciting day for us all. I’d like to congratulate all for making it through, including myself. 

Making the most of this largely open platform we have today #LinkedIn, I wanted to leave the Class of 2020 with one of the most important perspective that I have adopted over the last 2 years of my stay in the United States – ‘Good things will come to you, keep working.’

The world we live in is plagued with dangers: COVID-19, global warming, Trump’s impeachment decision, and hair loss. And despite all the odds, we still managed to graduate. Let us give ourselves a big round of applause. We’ve danced to tunes whose lyrics we are still unable to comprehend, #Despacito, #GangnamStyle. And now, here we are, finished with graduate school. We have been the black hole in a classroom before too long absorbing everything without allowing our light to escape, but those days are gone, we belong amongst the stars. #Together

As Nora Ephron says, “Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead.” We have survived it all. And we have realized that we are the most attractive class ever.

Presently as we finish our understudies we have a chance: our opportunity to take on the world, and to discover and seek after our interests; "Leave a Legacy". William Shakespeare and furthermore Channing Tatum, once stated, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”

In life we can’t always count on being great, but always remember that the opportunity to achieve greatness is within our grasp. Keep in mind that significant numbers of our leaders and heroes started their lives as a normal person, as you and me. Despite the mistakes we will make, and although we may be ‘normal’, we know that the normal can achieve significance, whether percieved by the world or just a couple.

Greatness comes from our friends and family reaching out to us, those who go out of their way for us, ‘the unsung heroes’. On the off chance that there's anything you take from today, make sure to leave a legacy and accomplish enormity isn't getting money and fame, it's to leave those with whom you encounter somewhat more bliss and hope. We won't be remembered by our grades or popularity, yet by our relationship.

Class of 2020, it has been #Wonderful 2 years with you and from the bottom of my heart I wish you all very best. #Congratulations
